Thank you.

Wirechief, please amend my answer accordingly. It was Vickie Lawrence who sang The Night the Lights Went Out in Gerogia. I remember the Carole Burnett Show during which Carole surprised Vickie with the gold record. Mama's Place was hilarious with Ken Berry and the woman who played Opal on All My Children, Dorothy Lyman.
